New Shop on the Block: Chill Box Diner

We try out the new places so you know what to expect… starting with a visit to Chill Box Diner Resto Bar in BF.

Murphy’s - A place where everyone knows your name

Remember Cheers, that 70’s show (no, not That 70’s Show, just a show from the 70’s) old sitcom (to defuse any more rabid corrections, hahaha) with the bar that was a place where everyone knew your name? There’s a place in Makati near my sister’s office that reminds me of that: a restaurant, a bar, […]

Mrs. Beans: Both kinds of brew

Sorry, this establishment is no longer operating. :( They were supposed to transfer to a new location, though this has yet to be confirmed. We’ll keep you all posted.

A few years ago a friend and I went out for snacks at a café: I ordered a coffee drink, and he asked for a Coke. The […]

Bistro 310 - Creepy House Comes Alive!

Last Saturday I had another chance to watch Kapatid—one of my favorite bands—here in the South. Yes!!! To see Karl Roy and the gang play is always a blast, wherever they are.

Three Takes on Central BBQ Boy Grill

Once upon a time, I met up with Betty, the main mama of […]

BBQ Trippin’

Hanzel is a regular at Central BBQ Boy, from way back when it was still near Bob’s Crab Shack, and their seating was in the middle of the road. Here’s his take on the place (read Denise’s and my take too). - ed

Most of you southerners (especially people in BF Homes) already know this place. […]

Kapatid at Marbles

While good music is an important part of life in the south, I find it strange that there are very few venues for the underground music scene in the Las Piñas / Parañaque / Alabang areas. I’ve played in a few, like 19 East just atop Posadas Village near the Sucat interchange (though it’s mainstream), […]
